Tony Hawk's Underground Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In order to keep the series from running out of steam, Activision decided add a "story mode" to the game.You start out as an unknown everyday skater who dreams of turning pro.There are plenty of "story scenes", starring you as the main character.As you progress through the game, new levels open up, and the drama of becoming a pro skater unfolds before you.All of this is a little bit cheesy, but nevertheless makes for an entertaining game to play.
Let me hit on the positives first.The "story mode" of the game does add a decent amount to the game experience.I found myself continuing to play so that I could find out what happens next.Also, the graphics are more detailed and the sounds are taken up a couple of notches as well.The levels are huge with lots of obstacles and spines to skate.All your favorite pros are back, with a couple of new ones thrown in too.However, the only levels you can play with one of the regular pro skaters are the levels you have opened up in story mode.Just so you know.
And now the negatives...
Not much to say here.While the story mode adds to the game, it isn't realistic.The same thing goes for quite a few of the "goals" you have to achieve.They have more in common with Grand Theft Auto than skateboarding.That aspect is probably the strangest part of the game.I guess the creators wanted some stuff in there that would appeal to that type of audience.
Anyway, I would rate this game a 9 out of possible 10.
